Join Maggie Rivera at Queens Botanical Garden to celebrate Women’s Health Month with a Puerto Rican Herbalism Plant Walk!

Together, we will explore the medicines of the Earth Mother who is known by Boricuas and Tainos as Atabey. Participants will explore the garden to learn about plants used in Puerto Rican and Caribbean cuisine, medicine, and a brief introduction to the ancestral spirit Atabey as we go. This tour will take in some areas of the garden not usually open to the public.

Maggie is a Bronx native Boricua who is an herbalist of 7 years, an astrologer of 10 years and aspiring anthropologist/archaeologist who is looking to weave the worlds of mythology, the stars and the earth.
